Hmm, I have used the soap trick before on something else. The squeak is not belt squeal, it is a rhythmic sound that increases with rpm until it is warmed up. Never did it before!
I will give Joe a shout on the pulleys, thanks!

The idler pulley's I have now are 76mm on the belt contact area. I may have another set made that are 95mm for the trucks. The Inlet Forward design cant run a big idler because it will contact the supercharger pulley. The trucks have enough room to run the bigger diameter pulley's.

What about Metco 90mm double bearing pulleys?
This billet idler pulley is specifically designed for severe-duty applications, such as those running higher boost levels or aftermarket superchargers like a Whipple or a Kenne-Bell.
The pulley is machined to accept twin bearings to provide added stability and the ability to withstand excessive belt loads. The pulley is hard-coat anodized in black and includes a separate bearing dust cover and stainless steel fastener.
This pulley can be installed as a direct replacement for an OEM idler pulley or anywhere a standard Metco Motorsports idler pulley can be installed. Also available in 100mm diameter.
